Overview | OSD Mode | Color Calibration | Troubleshooting Overview What is MagicTuneTM? Monitor performance can vary due to the graphics card, host computer lighting conditions and other environmental factors. In order to get the best image on a monitor requires you to adjust it for your unique setting. Unfortunately, the manual controls available to tune the image often prove to be challenging. Proper adjustment (tuning) requires an easy to use program that goes through a step-by-step process to obtain the best overall picture quality. In most cases even simple adjustments to Brightness, or Contrast require navigation of the multilevel, on-screen display (OSD) menus that are not easy to understand. Furthermore, there is no feedback to assist in correctly setting the controls of the monitor. MagicTuneTM is a software utility that guides you through the tuning process with easy to understand instructions and back ground patterns designed for each monitor control. The display settings for each user can be saved, providing an easy way to select display characteristics in a multi-user environme or having a single user have multiple defined presets based on content and ambient lighting. Basic Functionality MagicTuneTM is a software utility that allows monitor adjustment and color tuning using the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol. All adjustments to the display are controlled via software to eliminate the need to use the monitor on-screen display (OSD). MagicTuneTM supports WindowsTM 98 SE, Me, 2000, XP Home, and XP Professional. It is recommended using MagicTuneTM in WindowsTM 2000 or later. MagicTuneTM allows for quick accurate tuning of the display with the ability to easily save and use monitor configurations that are best suited for you.

Please press OK and click on the "Shortcut to the MagicTuneTM site" to view our home page for further reference. An error may occur when your video/graphic card is not in the 'Available' list. (The latest or oldest video cards may not be compatible.) Please visit our homepage to see the Troubleshooting section. An error may occur if the card maker has modified the video card driver or the graphics chip even when the video card is in the list. Please visit our homepage to see the Troubleshooting section. Check if your monitor is manufactured by Samsung. Products from other manufacturers may cause errors. Only Samsung products are able to support this feature. An error may occur even when your monitor is manufactured by Samsung but is out of date. Check if your monitor is able to support MagicTuneTM. This feature is only supported by those monitors that are registered on our homepage. Check for the monitor before purchasing it as out-of-date models are not supported. An error occurs when no information on EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) exists for the current monitor. This happens when from your desktop, Start Setup Control Panel System Hardware Device Manager Monitor is selected, the current "Plug-and-play monitor" is removed and new hardware is searched for but the system couldn't find any "Plug-and-play monitor". Please visit our homepage to see the Troubleshooting section. An error occurs when replacing the monitor with a new one when the system power is off but the system has not been restarted. Please restart the system each time the monitor is replaced before using MagicTuneTM. An error occurs when the video card driver is not installed properly. This happens when the current video card list is not displayed normally. You can check this via Start Setup System Hardware Device Manager Display Adapter. Visit the video card maker's homepage and download and install the latest driver. For more information about the video card, contact the card manufacturer. To ensure normal operation, please restart your system. An error occurs when the system is not restarted after installing MagicTuneTM. (This is for Win98SE and WinMe only.) Restart the system before use. For the best performance of MagicTuneTM, adjust to the optimal resolution. Refer to the User Guide for the optimal resolution. If you do not adjust to the optimal resolution and perform Color Calibration, the monitor cannot be adjusted to the optimal condition. Refer to the manual for the optimal resolution.

Traditionally, computer displays allowed the user to view only in landscape mode. In today's information age, more users need to view documents, web pages, emails, etc. in there day to day life. These types of applications can be better viewed in portrait mode where the entire contents are available on the screen. This greatly improves the user's productivity allowing him the flexibility to switch between landscape and portrait modes. The MagicRotation Software from Samsung Electronics, Inc. provides the user with a rotation feature (0, 90, 180, 270 orientation) that facilitates the optimum utilization of computer display screen, better viewing and improved user productivity. Basic Function MagicRotation will support WindowsTM 98 SE, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, XP Home and XP Professional. * WindowsTM is registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation,Inc.

Overview | Interface | Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Before You Call Technical Support MagicRotation Software works with the installed "Display Driver" supplied by your Graphic Card Vendor to provide screen rotation capabilities. If the installed "Display Driver" is working incorrectly or has bugs in it, then these bugs would still exist even after MagicRotation Software is installed. Any incorrect/random behaviour resulting due to problems in the installed "Display Driver" are not due to MagicRotation Software. In order to verify if a problem exists in the installed "Display Driver" , you can perform the following diagonostic steps : 1. Check if the problem is occuring in both 0 orientation (Landscape mode) and 90 orientation (Portarit mode). 2. Check if the problem occurs with different color depths (8/16/32 bits per pixel) and different resolution modes (800 x 600, 1024 x 768). 3. Check if the problem occurs without installing MagicRotation Software. If the problem is repeating in any/all of the following scenarios then it may be the problem with your installed "Display Driver" : In order to correct the problem you need to perform the following steps : 1. Uninstall MagicRotation Software. 2. Obtain the latest "Display Driver" from your Graphic Card Vendor. The latest "Display Driver" from (ATI, NVIDIA, MATROX, INTEL, etc.) are easily available for download from their respective websites. 3. Install the latest "Display Driver" 4. Install MagicRotation Software. In most of the cases this should correct the problem. MagicRotation may not work in case monitor is replaced or driver of graphic card is updated while MagicRotation is operating. If so, please restart the system. Visit the MagicRotation website for technical support for MagicRotation, FAQs (questions and answers) and software upgrades. Before calling for service, check the information in this section to see if you can remedy any problems yourself. If you do need assistance, please call the phone number on the Information section or contact your dealer. Symptom No images on the screen. I cannot turn on the monitor.
